G'day all,
Tried to change my speedo today, but couldnt get the dash fascia off because of the choke cable and the bloody headlight switch, tried for hours to get the headlight one off but it seems as though it just doesnt come out, so WHATS THE DAMN SECRET!!! please before I go nuts (more than I already am anyway)by the way its an HJ premier dash if that helps.
Thanks. Russ.

Cheers...Dave
